Answer:
0.72 and 18/25
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Address input parameters & values.
Input parameters & values: The decimal number = 0.72
2) Write it as a fraction 0.72/1
3) Multiply 100 to both numerator & denominator
(0.72 x 100)/(1 x 100) = 72/100
It can be written as 72% = 72/100 or 72/100
4) To simplify 72/100 to its lowest terms, find LCM (Least Common Multiple) for 72 & 100. 4 is the LCM for 72 & 100.
5) divide numerator & denominator by 4. 72/100 = (72 / 4) / (100 / 4)= 18/25
6) 18/25 and 0.72.
